	12:04am Carmichael: I love these filthy hippies.
	♥ 12:05am McGroovey: hAPPY I mean Happy Birthday, TomD. What is this fine psych-o-delia? I must find out more.
	♥ 12:06am Scott Williams: yeah, this Stray is killer for openers! 1970 was a great year for a few things
	♥ 12:07am Fuzzy: Started kindergarten in 1970 -- good times!
	12:08am Sally: Ha cool Fuzzy! 50 years ago sounds more present then ever.
	♥ 12:09am Fuzzy: Ack! 50 years ago!
	12:09am rw: ¡Hola!
	12:10am rw: Birthday? Happy Birthday MrTomDash!
	♥ 12:10am Mr. Pumpy: Hello, Tom and the DotDash crew!
	♥ 12:11am Fuzzy: Play the freak noise all morning long!
	♥ 12:11am TomDash: hey folks, fuzzin' out for a bit!
	12:13am rw: My memories of 1970 are definitely fuzzy.
	♥ 12:13am Mr. Pumpy: I love the raucousness from Kramer and Co. I love what The Damned eventually did with that track as well.
	12:13am ParUbi ¤¤¤¤: Okay, I’m here
	♥ 12:14am McGroovey: After reading about Stray: There was an Iron Maiden cover of "All In Your Mind"? I've never listened to any Iron Maiden on purpose, so I'm curious whether that could be good.
	♥ 12:15am spodiodi: fuzz on, and happy bday, TomDash (only 9:14pm here)
	12:16am Sally: Ha clever segue Tom
	12:20am Sally: headphone bliss (thank you Phil May)
	♥ 12:21am Mr. Pumpy: McGroovey, I've listened to a lot of Iron Maiden on purpose. I think it is a good cover, but I like to hear Maiden doing their originals more. Even as an Iron Maiden fan, I find it bit lacking. It is devoid of vocal harmonies as it is only Dickinson singing, and the production doesn't translate well. Like the chopping down on the octaves in the beginning...doesn't pump me up like in the Stray version.
	♥ 12:23am Mr. Pumpy: This is my favorite type of banana.
	♥ 12:23am mariano: \m/ Maiden!!! \m/
	♥ 12:23am coelacanth∅: hey Tom and everyone
	♥ 12:24am Mr. Pumpy: coel!
	♥ 12:24am mariano: \m/ coela!!! \m/
	♥ 12:24am spodiodi: indeed aloha, coelacanth
	♥ 12:25am coelacanth∅: Happy (post) Birthday Tom! hey Mr.P mariano spodi!
	♥ 12:25am Mr. Pumpy: mariano, when I was young...or I should say where I lived, and quite possibly the world over, there was a huge divide at one point between Maiden fans and Priest fans. It was silly. I was true to Priest in those moments, but loved Maiden as well. Do you remember such nonsense?
	♥ 12:28am spodiodi: maiden was def more popular in my experience, mr pumpy (hey!)
	♥ 12:31am Mr. Pumpy: spod...what up? I don't know who was more popular...that would be a tough call in the NYC area in the 80s...even up til now. But it was more like people were choosing sides back then. Maybe more people did go in for Maiden if pressed. But both were hugely popular.
	♥ 12:32am McGroovey: I have lots of Pretty Things, but I need some Elecrtic Bananas.
	♥ 12:35am mariano: Huh, never heard of a Priest/Maiden rivalry. In my school it was ABC vs Haircut 100. Some pretty tough crowds.
	♥ 12:36am TomDash: Electric Banana stuff rules - check out some YouTube clips, did some psychsploitation films and went under that pseudonym
	♥ 12:39am spodiodi: got ya, mr. pumpy. i guess my experience was limited to what my friends were into. just enjoying the show! (learning about The Pretty Things)
	♥ 12:41am Hoboken Jack: Happy birthday Tom, hello Scott, McGroove, all!
	♥ 12:47am TomDash: Hey Jack! Hey y'all...welcome!
	♥ 12:50am Mr. Pumpy: @spod...agreed
	12:50am PJ: The drums sound so good on Black Sea, what a great record.
	♥ 12:51am coelacanth∅: Mr.Pumpy...to turn nothing into a long story, when i "broke up" with my best friend, George ~7th grade, amongst other differences we did this: punkrock<me ... George>metal i hated the hype, the grandness, pretense of significance; i wanted to strip music to it's core. once he was arguing with his new friend Oliver, 'maiden or... (?- metalica? slayer??) but then they both agreed, "no one messes with priest man" anyway i was even more of a dick then than i am now so i said i think priest sucks. just to challenge them. i'd never even heard judas priest! i just couldn't stand the way they were worshiping these pretentious bands. i like some of them now.
	♥ 12:51am mariano: YT also has the full movie that Electric Banana was in, 60s sex comedy called What's Good for the Goose (not vouching for it but the scene they're in is cool): www.youtube.com...
	♥ 12:51am coelacanth∅: (jeez that's even longer than i thought)
	♥ 12:53am McGroovey: I first learned of the Electric Banana from the inner sleeve advertisements of the Butt Records records I got in the '80s (Mother Gong, Van der Graaf Generator side-project The Long Hello, the first Bill Nelson album), but I didn't know if they were good, and I hadn't yet heard the Pretty Things, so I didn't hear the Electric Bananas records. I just admired the covers.
	♥ 12:56am coelacanth∅: if i didn't know before hearing the electric banana that it was the pretty things i don't know how many years would've passed before i'd give a band with that name a listen.
	♥ 12:56am Mr. Pumpy: @coel...I hear that! I was fortunate enough to have a core group of some real music heads...so a good number of us took it all in, but that kind of situation is not completely lost on me!
	♥ 1:00am coelacanth∅: you know, it was more the image of these bands that i didn't relate to.
	♥ 1:03am mariano: This De Artsen reminds me a bit of a song by Terminal Lovers, "The Truth Between Errors". There's a band I haven't heard in ages, pretty sure I heard them here first.
	♥ 1:03am coelacanth∅: Pumpy i guess i didn't have any friends into music as i was until 10th grade. (even then -not like i was)
	♥ 1:08am Fuzzy: Here's what I was listening to 10th-11th grade.
	♥ 1:09am Aitch: 40 years for I got you, eek. 10th grade for me, huge over here in Oz.
	♥ 1:10am Ken From Hyde Park: Hi. Un-lurking for Split Enz!
	1:12am JetBoy of Brooklyn: Oh hi there Iggy!
	♥ 1:12am Aitch: New Values a cracking record. I had Kill City on the other side of the tape.
	1:14am PJ: One new wave hit (or should have been hit) after another - great set, Tom.
	1:16am Caliban: Loving this show! What does one call this sort of guitar playing, fast, melodic, angsty but still tuneful.....? All the past few songs have that same awesome quality....rhythmic guitar picking that reminds me of old US soul songs sort of...thanks!
	♥ 1:17am mariano: This Echo song is the one they played in Urgh! A Music War.
	1:25am rw: Peppydancywavy guitar. Maybe that's what we will call it.
	1:27am Joe B: show sounding great Tom, also belated happy birthday
	1:27am PJ: Split Enz never quite made it to AOR radio in the early 80s, which was the only way a punk or new wave band was going to become successful in the US. Bands like Duran Duran that got heavy MTV play could cross over, don't know why it didn't happen to Enz. I saw them at a concert in Philly in the summer of 82, headliner was Squeeze (who were pretty big at the time), then Split Enz, Third World, Bush Tetras, and opening up was . . . Duran Duran!
	♥ 1:29am TomDash: Hey Thanks Joe! and rw, you're onto something...
	♥ 1:30am ultradamno: Missed The Pretty Things set due to connectivity issues, glad to see it up there though.
	♥ 1:32am ultradamno: Love New Values too, not as much as Five Foot One, but still... twitter.com...
	♥ 1:32am TomDash: Hey ultrad - welcome...you can check the archive if you get a chance. fun/fuzz set...
	♥ 1:33am TomDash: Hey PJ - yeah thought Split Enz might have crossed over...they weren't as dreamy as Duran Duran though, ha!
	♥ 1:33am ultradamno: Wasn't it Split Enz that had that laser etched album? A interesting novelty that never really took off.
	1:34am rw: New Values and Five Foot One are kind of the same song. Nice picture disc!!
	1:34am PJ: The laser etched album was True Colors, the one that I Got You came from. I still don't know how they can get that hologram pattern in the vinyl without affecting the grooves.
	♥ 1:35am TomDash: I know PJ! I just thought about that as I was spinning it now...crazy
	1:36am Joe B: @PJ - I recall hearing I Got You quite extensively around here on AOR FM radio - WDHA in NJ and WNEW in NYC played it pretty heavily. as far as Duran Duran - yeah they did not catch on until that fall when the Rio album was re-released in November after a 12" remix EP had caught on in US dance clubs
	♥ 1:38am ultradamno: Styx had one of those too, I think
	♥ 1:39am Scott Williams: Folks, say good mornin' to Carol! I'm passing the baton now, she'll be your Studio Ambassador til 9am.
	♥ 1:39am Aitch: Fine work Scott
	♥ 1:39am northguineahills: Bye Scott, Hello Carol!
	1:40am PJ: @TomDash: Duran Duran wasn't the kind of thing (Roxy influenced synth disco pop) the AOR stations in Philly would normally have played, but they were so massive on MTV that I think they couldn't avoid it. Split Enz, I think, peaked a little early for I Got You to help them get the AOR radio airplay, at least in the Philly area, where I was. I did hear I Got You on the radio, but only a few times. If they had had a bigger song after that things might have been different. But in Philly, at least, the stations were very resistant to anything vaguely punk or new wave and only a handful of acts got much airplay, and there were plenty of major label bands (the Jam was probably the biggest) who never got any airplay at all.
	1:42am PJ: For most of my high school days, the college radio stations could barely be heard through the static, so I had to learn about most new music from reading the Village Voice, the NY Times, and, after I found it later on, Trouser Press.
	♥ 1:42am Hubig Pie: Turned in for a bit before zzzz. Thanks for the tunes
	♥ 1:42am Ken From Hyde Park: Seems we need someone to reformulate the Bob & Earl song (or the Rolling Stones version) to introduce the "Skeleton Shuffle."
	♥ 1:43am ultradamno: KROQ sucking is trending right now. I don't know much about the situation. It's a commercial station, isn't it?
	1:43am rw: Did I miss the bagpipes, or are we not there yet? Love that iconic Miles Davis trumpet sound from this era.
	♥ 1:43am ultradamno: I know that one of those Rodney comps is where I first heard Minutemen though.
	1:44am Joe B: KROQ booted Rodney Bingenheimer years ago after marginalizing him for a decade or so before that so not sure how good they could have been lately
	♥ 1:44am TomDash: rw - funny he played sax on that track! Know for bagpipes though...
	1:44am PJ: The point of my rambling is that it was difficult to hear new music that didn't sound like Sammy Hagar or Journey on commercial radio at that time.
	1:45am rw: Is KROQ still on the air? I remember them starting to suck when I was in Junior High.
	♥ 1:45am ultradamno: According to this, on life support variety.com...
	1:46am rw: That's someone else playing trumpet??
	♥ 1:47am Hubig Pie: Miles Davis was cooler than a sack fulla muthafuckers
	1:48am nana: bang bang dash shot me down...bang bang I get around...bang bang I love your sound...bang bang dash shot me down...happy birthday to Cher
	1:48am rw: Actually, Sorry, I take that back. It was High School KROQ started going downhill. Amazing station before that (late '70s) though.
	1:49am ?: geez.im so frigin wasted.i want to understand what i couldnt read from the paragrapgh that starts with pj
	1:53am PJ: This show is hitting the right memory buttons for me; I saw King Crimson two years later after Squeeze and Split Enz at the same outdoor shed.
	1:54am PJ: @?: trust me, you aren't missing anything in what I wrote
	♥ 1:56am ultradamno: "Some of those playlist additions include Powfu’s “Coffee for Your Head (Death Bed)” with Beabadoobee, 24kGoldn’s “City of Angels,” Tame Impala’s “Lost In Yesterday” and Ashe’s “Moral of the Story.” “They’re really trying to freshen the sound,” I'm kind of proud of myself, I'm pretty sure I know what a Tame Impala is.
	♥ 1:56am Fuzzy: Memories of songs I was digging on short-lived WCOZ back in 1980: Split Enz "I Got You," The Cars "Touch and Go," 707 "I Could be Good For You," Tarney Spencer Band "No Time To Lose" -- there must be a bunch more that I can't remember right now.
	1:57am rw: Speaking of Fuzzy memories...
	1:58am PJ: @Fuzzy: Let's hear it for regional hits! I have no idea who 707 or the Tarney Spencer Band are.
	1:59am Ajay: Can hear John Peel on that Glaxo Babies track
	2:00am craplivion: finannly.i got passed the question m ark.im the previously known commenter as Q.geez im so wasted i i got passed my loggin password...lol
	♥ 2:01am Fuzzy: @PJ Nobody does anymore! I love those songs though -- that's why I still remember them. Fortunately, they're all on YouTube. 707 on The Mike Douglas Show!
	♥ 2:02am ultradamno: I remember seeing Scratch Acid at BBQ restaurant in Broadripple and Yow pulled chocolate pudding (yes it was, shut up) out of the back of his pants and splattered it everywhere. There was a plate glass window to the street and kids were out there and they and Yow mimicked each for awhile.
	♥ 2:03am CarolCrow: Good evening/morning, everyone! Glad to be here!
	♥ 2:04am ultradamno: The previous time I saw them in Muncie, I was mistaken for Yow all night (I was wearing a similar jacket), years later, when I saw Jesus Lizard in Chicago, I noticed he looked a dead ringer for my dad.
	♥ 2:04am Fuzzy: Good morning Carol!
	♥ 2:04am mariano: Hi Carol! Take care Tom.
	♥ 2:04am TomDash: Mornin' CarolCrow - thanks for hanging in Studio A!
	♥ 2:05am ultradamno: Hello Carol, thank you and all skeletons.
	2:05am PJ: @Fuzzy: some interesting things ended up on daytime TV in the 70s, Iggy on the Dinah Shore show . . . I mean, who was doing the booking? "Crap, Captain & Tennile canceled, we've got a 15 minute slot to fill, this guy has Pop in his name, it can't be that bad . . ."
	2:06am craplivion: hey pj.im just on trying to type wasted.is the children of the song at the top of your show.the same song thats in my phone children of the sun.phil thorpe that does that somg that i have?im trying to type
	♥ 2:06am ultradamno: Patti on Mike Douglas (look it up, it's on YT)
	♥ 2:06am CarolCrow: Good morning Fuzzy, mariano, ultradamno & Tom:)
	2:08am rw: Tom, were you messing with me or am I just inept? From what I can glean from the interweb, Miles plays trumpet on that track. Not that it really matters. Just a little baffled. The song sounded amazing. LOVE that era Davis.
	♥ 2:09am TomDash: rw - no I was saying Rufus Harley usually plays bagpipes but on the track I played (before Miles) he was playing the sax...MILES was indeed playing trumpet on the Bitches Brew track!
	2:10am rw: Oh! Okay. That makes sense. It's all coming together... Thanks!
	2:11am PJ: @Fuzzy, just listened to 707 on Mike Douglas - solid 70's AOR fare. Could be up Evan Davies' alley.
	2:12am PJ: thx for the tunes, Tom, adios everyone
	♥ 2:13am TomDash: Hey thanks for hanging PJ!
	2:14am rw: An old friend used to work at a storage place that housed a ton of Miles' personal crap. When the family finally got rid of it he grabbed Miles' Tupperware Orange Juice container. It's a highly prized possession!
	2:16am ignatatus666: Who’s the new DJ? Ahem That’s a pro What’s up everyone Just went to the Warwick Drive in and watched the Invisible man Very heavy on the Domestic Violence subject.
	2:16am ignatatus666: What’s up Tom Hope all is well
	2:17am rw: As I remember it looked like this: https://img0.etsystatic.com/055/0/5992003/il_fullxfull.707256948_it6o.jpg And I'll stop now.
	2:17am ignatatus666: Hi Lady Crow
	♥ 2:18am Fuzzy: @PJ: I saw that Iggy/Dinah clip on the 'Tube -- love it! So much great archival TV footage on Youtube: Mike Douglas, Midnight Special, Old Grey Whistle Test, etc. etc. I'm sure efd would be familiar with the 707, and you're right -- 79-80 hits that sweet spot between the old-guard rock n' roll and the upcoming New Wave era, which I would be digging later on during my early 80's Navy days in San Diego.
	♥ 2:19am ultradamno: That's mighty orange pitcher.
	♥ 2:20am CarolCrow: Hey there, ignatatus:)
	♥ 2:21am ultradamno: Rona taking on Black Flag. dangerousminds.net...
	♥ 2:22am ultradamno: Donahue's punk show was amusing too.
	♥ 2:23am Fuzzy: Where's Bill Grundy Now?
	2:29am rw: I'm having so much fun but I need to check out. Thank you TomDash! Sorry you had to have your birthday during lockdown! (Reading between the lines, were you born in 1970? that would make it a milestone!)Take care everyone!
	2:29am rw: PS: Some day we need to hear the bagpipes.
	♥ 2:30am ultradamno: Blitzkrieg Bop bagpipe cover twitter.com...
	♥ 2:31am TomDash: Thanks rw - 1969...just little ole' 51 here...
	♥ 2:31am ultradamno: Smooth jazz ear fucking cover of Autumn Leaves twitter.com...
	2:32am Hi from Holland: Aloha! Dutch tunes always fun to hear ...
	2:32am craplivion: i dont know why this en jij qqq track reminds me so musch of marielion.missedplaced childhood from 1987
	♥ 2:34am TomDash: Hi Holland! I bought this record somewhere...private press late 70s/early 80s and there are no songs listed omg it and can't find on discogs! Ha...
	♥ 2:38am mariano: Welcome to the tribe, Tom.
	♥ 2:40am mariano: I mean being 51.
	♥ 2:44am ultradamno: To bring things back around, from the comments section of that Variety article about KROQ re: the origins of the phrase 'world famous...' "That was a line uttered in disbelief by a member of The Split Enz because it was such a shit hole"
	2:44am Hi from Holland: @TomDash: En Jij translates to "And You" - I tried googling some of the lyrics but no luck so far.
	2:47am Edwin: Hey Dash can you play ....Hail/snail’s “shoe missing” or Hail’s “on another day”
	♥ 2:52am ultradamno: There's a new Maximum Ernst release with a nude lady being eaten by a marshmallow maximumernst.bandcamp.com...
	♥ 2:52am TomDash: Thanks Hi from Holland! I bough the record somewhere so I'm sure info exists somewhere too! And thanks Mariano...I don't feel a day over...50!
	♥ 2:53am TomDash: ok folks, winding down with some weirdness! Thanks for hanging for the journey once again!!!
	♥ 2:58am Fuzzy: Thanks Tom!
	♥ 3:00am TomDash: Sure thing fuzzy - thanks for tuning in!!! Until next week folks, ciao for now!
	2:08pm Hi from Holland: @TomDash could it be this one "En Jij ‎– Geen Deuren, Muren, Tralies Houden Dromen Tegen" @ https://www.discogs.com/En-Jij-Geen-Deuren-Muren-Tralies-Houden-Dromen-Tegen/release/6773971

	♥ 12:05am McGroovey: hAPPY I mean Happy Birthday, TomD. What is this fine psych-o-delia? I must find out more.
	♥ 12:06am Scott Williams: yeah, this Stray is killer for openers! 1970 was a great year for a few things
	♥ 12:07am Fuzzy: Started kindergarten in 1970 -- good times!
	12:08am Sally: Ha cool Fuzzy! 50 years ago sounds more present then ever.
	♥ 12:09am Fuzzy: Ack! 50 years ago!
	12:09am rw: ¡Hola!
	12:10am rw: Birthday? Happy Birthday MrTomDash!
	♥ 12:10am Mr. Pumpy: Hello, Tom and the DotDash crew!
	♥ 12:11am Fuzzy: Play the freak noise all morning long!
	♥ 12:11am TomDash: hey folks, fuzzin' out for a bit!
	12:13am rw: My memories of 1970 are definitely fuzzy.
	♥ 12:13am Mr. Pumpy: I love the raucousness from Kramer and Co. I love what The Damned eventually did with that track as well.
	12:13am ParUbi ¤¤¤¤: Okay, I’m here
	♥ 12:14am McGroovey: After reading about Stray: There was an Iron Maiden cover of "All In Your Mind"? I've never listened to any Iron Maiden on purpose, so I'm curious whether that could be good.
	♥ 12:15am spodiodi: fuzz on, and happy bday, TomDash (only 9:14pm here)
	12:16am Sally: Ha clever segue Tom
	12:20am Sally: headphone bliss (thank you Phil May)
	♥ 12:21am Mr. Pumpy: McGroovey, I've listened to a lot of Iron Maiden on purpose. I think it is a good cover, but I like to hear Maiden doing their originals more. Even as an Iron Maiden fan, I find it bit lacking. It is devoid of vocal harmonies as it is only Dickinson singing, and the production doesn't translate well. Like the chopping down on the octaves in the beginning...doesn't pump me up like in the Stray version.
	♥ 12:23am Mr. Pumpy: This is my favorite type of banana.
	♥ 12:23am mariano: \m/ Maiden!!! \m/
	♥ 12:23am coelacanth∅: hey Tom and everyone
	♥ 12:24am Mr. Pumpy: coel!
	♥ 12:24am mariano: \m/ coela!!! \m/
	♥ 12:24am spodiodi: indeed aloha, coelacanth
	♥ 12:25am coelacanth∅: Happy (post) Birthday Tom! hey Mr.P mariano spodi!
	♥ 12:25am Mr. Pumpy: mariano, when I was young...or I should say where I lived, and quite possibly the world over, there was a huge divide at one point between Maiden fans and Priest fans. It was silly. I was true to Priest in those moments, but loved Maiden as well. Do you remember such nonsense?
	♥ 12:28am spodiodi: maiden was def more popular in my experience, mr pumpy (hey!)
	♥ 12:31am Mr. Pumpy: spod...what up? I don't know who was more popular...that would be a tough call in the NYC area in the 80s...even up til now. But it was more like people were choosing sides back then. Maybe more people did go in for Maiden if pressed. But both were hugely popular.
	♥ 12:32am McGroovey: I have lots of Pretty Things, but I need some Elecrtic Bananas.
	♥ 12:35am mariano: Huh, never heard of a Priest/Maiden rivalry. In my school it was ABC vs Haircut 100. Some pretty tough crowds.
	♥ 12:36am TomDash: Electric Banana stuff rules - check out some YouTube clips, did some psychsploitation films and went under that pseudonym
	♥ 12:39am spodiodi: got ya, mr. pumpy. i guess my experience was limited to what my friends were into. just enjoying the show! (learning about The Pretty Things)
	♥ 12:41am Hoboken Jack: Happy birthday Tom, hello Scott, McGroove, all!
	♥ 12:47am TomDash: Hey Jack! Hey y'all...welcome!
	♥ 12:50am Mr. Pumpy: @spod...agreed
	12:50am PJ: The drums sound so good on Black Sea, what a great record.
	♥ 12:51am coelacanth∅: Mr.Pumpy...to turn nothing into a long story, when i "broke up" with my best friend, George ~7th grade, amongst other differences we did this: punkrock<me ... George>metal i hated the hype, the grandness, pretense of significance; i wanted to strip music to it's core. once he was arguing with his new friend Oliver, 'maiden or... (?- metalica? slayer??) but then they both agreed, "no one messes with priest man" anyway i was even more of a dick then than i am now so i said i think priest sucks. just to challenge them. i'd never even heard judas priest! i just couldn't stand the way they were worshiping these pretentious bands. i like some of them now.
	♥ 12:51am mariano: YT also has the full movie that Electric Banana was in, 60s sex comedy called What's Good for the Goose (not vouching for it but the scene they're in is cool): www.youtube.com...
	♥ 12:51am coelacanth∅: (jeez that's even longer than i thought)
	♥ 12:53am McGroovey: I first learned of the Electric Banana from the inner sleeve advertisements of the Butt Records records I got in the '80s (Mother Gong, Van der Graaf Generator side-project The Long Hello, the first Bill Nelson album), but I didn't know if they were good, and I hadn't yet heard the Pretty Things, so I didn't hear the Electric Bananas records. I just admired the covers.
	♥ 12:56am coelacanth∅: if i didn't know before hearing the electric banana that it was the pretty things i don't know how many years would've passed before i'd give a band with that name a listen.
	♥ 12:56am Mr. Pumpy: @coel...I hear that! I was fortunate enough to have a core group of some real music heads...so a good number of us took it all in, but that kind of situation is not completely lost on me!
	♥ 1:00am coelacanth∅: you know, it was more the image of these bands that i didn't relate to.
	♥ 1:03am mariano: This De Artsen reminds me a bit of a song by Terminal Lovers, "The Truth Between Errors". There's a band I haven't heard in ages, pretty sure I heard them here first.
	♥ 1:03am coelacanth∅: Pumpy i guess i didn't have any friends into music as i was until 10th grade. (even then -not like i was)
	♥ 1:08am Fuzzy: Here's what I was listening to 10th-11th grade.
	♥ 1:09am Aitch: 40 years for I got you, eek. 10th grade for me, huge over here in Oz.
	♥ 1:10am Ken From Hyde Park: Hi. Un-lurking for Split Enz!
	1:12am JetBoy of Brooklyn: Oh hi there Iggy!
	♥ 1:12am Aitch: New Values a cracking record. I had Kill City on the other side of the tape.
	1:14am PJ: One new wave hit (or should have been hit) after another - great set, Tom.
	1:16am Caliban: Loving this show! What does one call this sort of guitar playing, fast, melodic, angsty but still tuneful.....? All the past few songs have that same awesome quality....rhythmic guitar picking that reminds me of old US soul songs sort of...thanks!
	♥ 1:17am mariano: This Echo song is the one they played in Urgh! A Music War.
	1:25am rw: Peppydancywavy guitar. Maybe that's what we will call it.
	1:27am Joe B: show sounding great Tom, also belated happy birthday
	1:27am PJ: Split Enz never quite made it to AOR radio in the early 80s, which was the only way a punk or new wave band was going to become successful in the US. Bands like Duran Duran that got heavy MTV play could cross over, don't know why it didn't happen to Enz. I saw them at a concert in Philly in the summer of 82, headliner was Squeeze (who were pretty big at the time), then Split Enz, Third World, Bush Tetras, and opening up was . . . Duran Duran!
	♥ 1:29am TomDash: Hey Thanks Joe! and rw, you're onto something...
	♥ 1:30am ultradamno: Missed The Pretty Things set due to connectivity issues, glad to see it up there though.
	♥ 1:32am ultradamno: Love New Values too, not as much as Five Foot One, but still... twitter.com...
	♥ 1:32am TomDash: Hey ultrad - welcome...you can check the archive if you get a chance. fun/fuzz set...
	♥ 1:33am TomDash: Hey PJ - yeah thought Split Enz might have crossed over...they weren't as dreamy as Duran Duran though, ha!
	♥ 1:33am ultradamno: Wasn't it Split Enz that had that laser etched album? A interesting novelty that never really took off.
	1:34am rw: New Values and Five Foot One are kind of the same song. Nice picture disc!!
	1:34am PJ: The laser etched album was True Colors, the one that I Got You came from. I still don't know how they can get that hologram pattern in the vinyl without affecting the grooves.
	♥ 1:35am TomDash: I know PJ! I just thought about that as I was spinning it now...crazy
	1:36am Joe B: @PJ - I recall hearing I Got You quite extensively around here on AOR FM radio - WDHA in NJ and WNEW in NYC played it pretty heavily. as far as Duran Duran - yeah they did not catch on until that fall when the Rio album was re-released in November after a 12" remix EP had caught on in US dance clubs
	♥ 1:38am ultradamno: Styx had one of those too, I think
	♥ 1:39am Scott Williams: Folks, say good mornin' to Carol! I'm passing the baton now, she'll be your Studio Ambassador til 9am.
	♥ 1:39am Aitch: Fine work Scott
	♥ 1:39am northguineahills: Bye Scott, Hello Carol!
	1:40am PJ: @TomDash: Duran Duran wasn't the kind of thing (Roxy influenced synth disco pop) the AOR stations in Philly would normally have played, but they were so massive on MTV that I think they couldn't avoid it. Split Enz, I think, peaked a little early for I Got You to help them get the AOR radio airplay, at least in the Philly area, where I was. I did hear I Got You on the radio, but only a few times. If they had had a bigger song after that things might have been different. But in Philly, at least, the stations were very resistant to anything vaguely punk or new wave and only a handful of acts got much airplay, and there were plenty of major label bands (the Jam was probably the biggest) who never got any airplay at all.
	1:42am PJ: For most of my high school days, the college radio stations could barely be heard through the static, so I had to learn about most new music from reading the Village Voice, the NY Times, and, after I found it later on, Trouser Press.
	♥ 1:42am Hubig Pie: Turned in for a bit before zzzz. Thanks for the tunes
	♥ 1:42am Ken From Hyde Park: Seems we need someone to reformulate the Bob & Earl song (or the Rolling Stones version) to introduce the "Skeleton Shuffle."
	♥ 1:43am ultradamno: KROQ sucking is trending right now. I don't know much about the situation. It's a commercial station, isn't it?
	1:43am rw: Did I miss the bagpipes, or are we not there yet? Love that iconic Miles Davis trumpet sound from this era.
	♥ 1:43am ultradamno: I know that one of those Rodney comps is where I first heard Minutemen though.
	1:44am Joe B: KROQ booted Rodney Bingenheimer years ago after marginalizing him for a decade or so before that so not sure how good they could have been lately
	♥ 1:44am TomDash: rw - funny he played sax on that track! Know for bagpipes though...
	1:44am PJ: The point of my rambling is that it was difficult to hear new music that didn't sound like Sammy Hagar or Journey on commercial radio at that time.
	1:45am rw: Is KROQ still on the air? I remember them starting to suck when I was in Junior High.
	♥ 1:45am ultradamno: According to this, on life support variety.com...
	1:46am rw: That's someone else playing trumpet??
	♥ 1:47am Hubig Pie: Miles Davis was cooler than a sack fulla muthafuckers
	1:48am nana: bang bang dash shot me down...bang bang I get around...bang bang I love your sound...bang bang dash shot me down...happy birthday to Cher
	1:48am rw: Actually, Sorry, I take that back. It was High School KROQ started going downhill. Amazing station before that (late '70s) though.
	1:49am ?: geez.im so frigin wasted.i want to understand what i couldnt read from the paragrapgh that starts with pj
	1:53am PJ: This show is hitting the right memory buttons for me; I saw King Crimson two years later after Squeeze and Split Enz at the same outdoor shed.
	1:54am PJ: @?: trust me, you aren't missing anything in what I wrote
	♥ 1:56am ultradamno: "Some of those playlist additions include Powfu’s “Coffee for Your Head (Death Bed)” with Beabadoobee, 24kGoldn’s “City of Angels,” Tame Impala’s “Lost In Yesterday” and Ashe’s “Moral of the Story.” “They’re really trying to freshen the sound,” I'm kind of proud of myself, I'm pretty sure I know what a Tame Impala is.
	♥ 1:56am Fuzzy: Memories of songs I was digging on short-lived WCOZ back in 1980: Split Enz "I Got You," The Cars "Touch and Go," 707 "I Could be Good For You," Tarney Spencer Band "No Time To Lose" -- there must be a bunch more that I can't remember right now.
	1:57am rw: Speaking of Fuzzy memories...
	1:58am PJ: @Fuzzy: Let's hear it for regional hits! I have no idea who 707 or the Tarney Spencer Band are.
	1:59am Ajay: Can hear John Peel on that Glaxo Babies track
	2:00am craplivion: finannly.i got passed the question m ark.im the previously known commenter as Q.geez im so wasted i i got passed my loggin password...lol
	♥ 2:01am Fuzzy: @PJ Nobody does anymore! I love those songs though -- that's why I still remember them. Fortunately, they're all on YouTube. 707 on The Mike Douglas Show!
	♥ 2:02am ultradamno: I remember seeing Scratch Acid at BBQ restaurant in Broadripple and Yow pulled chocolate pudding (yes it was, shut up) out of the back of his pants and splattered it everywhere. There was a plate glass window to the street and kids were out there and they and Yow mimicked each for awhile.
	♥ 2:03am CarolCrow: Good evening/morning, everyone! Glad to be here!
	♥ 2:04am ultradamno: The previous time I saw them in Muncie, I was mistaken for Yow all night (I was wearing a similar jacket), years later, when I saw Jesus Lizard in Chicago, I noticed he looked a dead ringer for my dad.
	♥ 2:04am Fuzzy: Good morning Carol!
	♥ 2:04am mariano: Hi Carol! Take care Tom.
	♥ 2:04am TomDash: Mornin' CarolCrow - thanks for hanging in Studio A!
	♥ 2:05am ultradamno: Hello Carol, thank you and all skeletons.
	2:05am PJ: @Fuzzy: some interesting things ended up on daytime TV in the 70s, Iggy on the Dinah Shore show . . . I mean, who was doing the booking? "Crap, Captain & Tennile canceled, we've got a 15 minute slot to fill, this guy has Pop in his name, it can't be that bad . . ."
	2:06am craplivion: hey pj.im just on trying to type wasted.is the children of the song at the top of your show.the same song thats in my phone children of the sun.phil thorpe that does that somg that i have?im trying to type
	♥ 2:06am ultradamno: Patti on Mike Douglas (look it up, it's on YT)
	♥ 2:06am CarolCrow: Good morning Fuzzy, mariano, ultradamno & Tom:)
	2:08am rw: Tom, were you messing with me or am I just inept? From what I can glean from the interweb, Miles plays trumpet on that track. Not that it really matters. Just a little baffled. The song sounded amazing. LOVE that era Davis.
	♥ 2:09am TomDash: rw - no I was saying Rufus Harley usually plays bagpipes but on the track I played (before Miles) he was playing the sax...MILES was indeed playing trumpet on the Bitches Brew track!
	2:10am rw: Oh! Okay. That makes sense. It's all coming together... Thanks!
	2:11am PJ: @Fuzzy, just listened to 707 on Mike Douglas - solid 70's AOR fare. Could be up Evan Davies' alley.
	2:12am PJ: thx for the tunes, Tom, adios everyone
	♥ 2:13am TomDash: Hey thanks for hanging PJ!
	2:14am rw: An old friend used to work at a storage place that housed a ton of Miles' personal crap. When the family finally got rid of it he grabbed Miles' Tupperware Orange Juice container. It's a highly prized possession!
	2:16am ignatatus666: Who’s the new DJ? Ahem That’s a pro What’s up everyone Just went to the Warwick Drive in and watched the Invisible man Very heavy on the Domestic Violence subject.
	2:16am ignatatus666: What’s up Tom Hope all is well
	2:17am rw: As I remember it looked like this: https://img0.etsystatic.com/055/0/5992003/il_fullxfull.707256948_it6o.jpg And I'll stop now.
	2:17am ignatatus666: Hi Lady Crow
	♥ 2:18am Fuzzy: @PJ: I saw that Iggy/Dinah clip on the 'Tube -- love it! So much great archival TV footage on Youtube: Mike Douglas, Midnight Special, Old Grey Whistle Test, etc. etc. I'm sure efd would be familiar with the 707, and you're right -- 79-80 hits that sweet spot between the old-guard rock n' roll and the upcoming New Wave era, which I would be digging later on during my early 80's Navy days in San Diego.
	♥ 2:19am ultradamno: That's mighty orange pitcher.
	♥ 2:20am CarolCrow: Hey there, ignatatus:)
	♥ 2:21am ultradamno: Rona taking on Black Flag. dangerousminds.net...
	♥ 2:22am ultradamno: Donahue's punk show was amusing too.
	♥ 2:23am Fuzzy: Where's Bill Grundy Now?
	2:29am rw: I'm having so much fun but I need to check out. Thank you TomDash! Sorry you had to have your birthday during lockdown! (Reading between the lines, were you born in 1970? that would make it a milestone!)Take care everyone!
	2:29am rw: PS: Some day we need to hear the bagpipes.
	♥ 2:30am ultradamno: Blitzkrieg Bop bagpipe cover twitter.com...
	♥ 2:31am TomDash: Thanks rw - 1969...just little ole' 51 here...
	♥ 2:31am ultradamno: Smooth jazz ear fucking cover of Autumn Leaves twitter.com...
	2:32am Hi from Holland: Aloha! Dutch tunes always fun to hear ...
	2:32am craplivion: i dont know why this en jij qqq track reminds me so musch of marielion.missedplaced childhood from 1987
	♥ 2:34am TomDash: Hi Holland! I bought this record somewhere...private press late 70s/early 80s and there are no songs listed omg it and can't find on discogs! Ha...
	♥ 2:38am mariano: Welcome to the tribe, Tom.
	♥ 2:40am mariano: I mean being 51.
	♥ 2:44am ultradamno: To bring things back around, from the comments section of that Variety article about KROQ re: the origins of the phrase 'world famous...' "That was a line uttered in disbelief by a member of The Split Enz because it was such a shit hole"
	2:44am Hi from Holland: @TomDash: En Jij translates to "And You" - I tried googling some of the lyrics but no luck so far.
	2:47am Edwin: Hey Dash can you play ....Hail/snail’s “shoe missing” or Hail’s “on another day”
	♥ 2:52am ultradamno: There's a new Maximum Ernst release with a nude lady being eaten by a marshmallow maximumernst.bandcamp.com...
